Free Prom Dresses For Low Income Families

Prom dresses for low-income families is a piece I created to help students in need of prom attire. The places listed below may be able to help homeless students, those who live in shelters and do not have a family to assist them with getting a prom dress, or low-income families. With so many people in need, there are many programs available that offer free prom dresses and tuxedos as well as earrings, necklaces, evening bags, shawls, shoes, and makeup to those in need. These organizations help young girls attend their proms who otherwise could not believe girls from all walks of life deserve the chance to feel beautiful, confident, and special.

My goal is to see students attend their prom who otherwise could not attend due to not being able to afford a prom dress. If you don’t find a dress in your area please scroll to the bottom of the page for lists by state. Keep in mind most of these programs don’t open until early spring.
